Jarosław Kaczyński to announce PiS candidate for prime minister during convention in Krakow

Law and Justice is entering a crucial phase of preparations for upcoming electoral challenges, focusing public attention on the selection of a candidate for prime minister. MP Marek Suski confirmed that the party is intensively working on a new program, which will be presented on March 7 in Krakow. It is there that Jarosław Kaczyński is to reveal the name of the person who will head the future cabinet in case of victory. Media speculation focuses on two figures: former voivode Tobiasz Bocheński, described by some commentators as the "new premier of the chairman," and Mateusz Morawiecki, whose position within the party remains the subject of lively debate. In the Polish political system after 1989, party leaders often decided to field candidates for prime minister who were not party leaders, aiming to broaden the electorate to include moderate voters.Simultaneously with personnel processes, PiS is conducting a rhetorical offensive in the energy sector. Jarosław Kaczyński publicly praised cooperation with former Orlen CEO Daniel Obajtek, attributing to him a key role in ensuring Poland's energy security. Obajtek himself warns about the possibility of artificial inflation of fuel prices by current decision-makers, arguing that under his party's rule, citizens were protected from sudden increases in oil costs. „Nie poszybuje aż tak mocno” (It won't soar that high) — Daniel Obajtek – this is how he referred to projected changes in oil prices on world markets, emphasizing the country's raw material reserves. In the background of domestic disputes, international themes emerge, including Viktor Orbán's announcements about revealing alleged evidence of irregularities surrounding the Druzhba pipeline, which could affect the regional energy market. The "Druzhba" pipeline, built in the 1960s, is one of the world's largest oil transmission networks, connecting Russian deposits with Central and Western Europe.It is also worth noting reports about internal party discipline in PiS. MP Patryk Jaki has been referred to the party's ethics committee, indicating attempts to consolidate the camp before announcing the new strategy. Meanwhile, sports media are buzzing with the curiosity about Hansi Flick observing the son of Polish goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny, providing a light counterpoint to the tense political atmosphere. At the global level, the Swiss National Bank declared readiness for currency interventions regarding the record-high Swiss franc exchange rate, which directly impacts the situation of Polish borrowers with obligations in this currency.
